About

Pono Nail Studio is a Costa Mesa nail salon with more than 30 years of experience in the nail industry, many of those years in spas. The studio's stated mission is to provide personalized nail care, and it describes itself as a mix of salon and spa with strictly enforced sanitation methods.

The studio's name comes from a Hawaiian word that loosely means righteousness, correct procedure, excellence and well-being. Those ideas guide how the team approaches each visit, with the goal of preserving the health of the natural nail and providing manicures and pedicures that last.

Services are by appointment only. Treatments are all inclusive and are recommended and personalized to each client's needs.

The studio says all of its work is guaranteed. Nail care brands are selected for their results, and gift certificates are available for anyone shopping for a gift.

Treatments are personalized and all inclusive, aimed at preserving the health of the natural nail and producing manicures and pedicures that last.
